About Jack

We are a family that lives in the United States during the winter and travels to Nova Scotia for our summer holiday. We like to go to the beach, swim in our pool, go sailing and spend time in Halifax when we travel to Nova Scotia. We love Nova Scotia and hope to share the beauty of the province with each of you.

Jack purchased this Villa in 2001

Why Jack chose Hubbards

We live in the Boston area and started traveling to Nova Scotia in 1998. Prior to purchasing a home, we traveled to various parts of Nova Scotia for summer holidays. Nova Scotia has many beautiful areas, but when we decided to purchase a home we felt that we wanted to have a home near Halifax and the Lighthouse Route. This portion of Nova Scotia is popular with both Canadian and expatriate owners, due to the proximity to Halifax, easy drive to the airport, beautiful beaches and fantastic scenery. The area reminded us of the New England coastline without the commercialism and crowded roads and beaches. We spent a long time looking for a house to buy near Halifax, and eventually decided to purchase our home.
On the day that we visited our house for the first time, the sun was shining brightly on the ocean in front of the house displaying a million beautiful ocean diamonds of light. The privacy of the house (at the end of a private drive) and the stunning view in front of the house were more than enough to make us want to buy the home. From the outside, the shingled house looked like it could easily have been located in Cape Cod or Nantucket, making us feel quite at home. Once inside the cottage, we were struck by the beauty of the ocean views from the living room, the luxury of the remodeled kitchen and the warmth of the home. We knew that this was the house that we wanted to own.
We have been traveling to Nova Scotia for our summer vacation every year since 2001. We return to visit our wonderful Nova Scotia friends, spend time on the beach and simply spend time together with our family. The adults never tire of the oceanfront views from the front of the house or relaxing on our 3 oceanfront decks, and the children never seem to get tired of their time in the pool or yard. Our children have now built special memories in Nova Scotia, and so will you and your children if you stay at our home.

The house was beautiful, you walk into a large, open-concept kitchen living room with a working fire place! It is very quaint and cozy! The view from the large windows in the living room is magnificent! It looks out over the ocean! It is difficult to describe how peaceful and gorgeous it is to look out on this view! The kitchen is well stocked. There are 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms all well equipped, comfortable and nicely decorated! We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again.

My husband & I rented this home with 3 other couples. Ample

space for all. The home exceeded out expectations. Its located

in an area that's private with an ocean view, but close to Halifax,

Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg, and many golf courses. A heated pool

and 2 patios were great when staying in to unwind. The owner shared

many tips and advice that helped make out trip memorable.

We had such a wonderful time at this lovely property. Our every need was anticipated so we didn't need to buy a ton of little extras to make ourselves comfortable. The kids loved the warm swimming pool and sauna. The whole family enjoyed evenings by the beach. We were provided detailed info on all local amenities. Overall we were so comfortable we referred to the cottage as 'home'... 'we'll, let's head home!'...after day trips and we were only there a week. Loved it.

I wanted to give a review of the professional way in which the owner dealt with my rental request and unfortunate cancellation. I reserved this beautiful looking vacation home for September 2017 and unfortunately had to cancel due to life changes. Jack was extremely responsive, professional and accommodating. I really appreciated how he handled the reservation and the cancellation and made everything so easy. I will definitely be reserving this home for my future trip to NS as soon as I am able to do so.

Had a wonderful family reunion at your beautiful home. It turned out to be the perfect place to relax, taking in a spectacular ocean view from every corner. My daughter and I would often joke in the evening as to where we planned to have morning coffee, the dining patio off to the left, the cozy alcove to the right, poolside, or one of our favourites...... watching the sun rise over the ocean from one of the Adirondack chairs perched above the beach.........albeit the biggest decision during our vacation.....just.the way it should be:)
